Referencing this: https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-misc&m=151233345723889&w=2 Will the stance regarding Rust be revisited now that we have a Rust implementation for coreutils(https://uutils.github.io/), with findutils and diffutils on the way? They and the Rust compiler have a MIT license: - https://github.com/uutils/coreutils/blob/main/LICENSE - https://github.com/uutils/findutils/blob/main/LICENSE - https://github.com/uutils/diffutils/blob/main/LICENSE-MIT Replacing the GNU compiler with the Rust compiler will also remove one of the few pesky GPL v2 licenses left in the project.

I don't foresee OpenBSD incorporating Rust components in the near future, much less being completely rewritten in Rust. If you're looking for a Unix-like operating system written in Rust, you might want to check out Redox OS [1]. That said, I think adding drivers or other platform-specific components written in Rust (as Linux is doing) could be a good idea.
